YOU’RE ALWAYS PUTTING OUT FIRES
It's understandable for company owners and managers to feel responsible for several aspects of the business. But if handling employee matters takes up too much time, it can soon negatively impact performance in other areas.
If you or your leadership team feel like you are constantly on the back foot and don’t have time to anticipate challenges, then you're probably spreading yourself too thin.
Outsourcing HR, payroll, recruitment and the selection process could help to relieve some of the burden, allowing you to oversee rather than directly manage employee matters.
EMPLOYEE MATTERS CLAIM A LOT OF YOUR FOCUS
Employees are an integral part of any company, which is why taking care of them is so important.
However, every employee comes with a unique set of circumstances and requirements.
Resolving employee disputes, appointing contractors, discussing personal matters, processing holiday requests, handling unexpected matters as they arise... correctly responding to employee matters takes a great deal of time and effort.
Are you, or the people currently tasked with handling these matters the right people to do so? If you believe your team could benefit from greater insight, experience or capacity to help your company run smoothly, then outsourcing HR, payroll, recruitment and the selection process for full circle external support might be the answer.
YOUR HR TEAM IS OVERWHELMED
We often underestimate the workload that HR teams have to contend with. Sometimes, there is simply too much work for a small team to manage.
Other times, teams are excellent generalists and need support with one or two specialist areas in HR practice.
Outsourcing HR can alleviate some pressure for teams, ensuring they have enough capacity to work to their full potential.
YOU’RE DROWNING IN CVS
...or you're struggling to attract candidates to fill vacancies.
Finding the right talent for your team is no mean feat. Recruitment is a specialist discipline that takes research, market understanding and time.
Sometimes, organisations can experience choice overload. There are so many candidates that it's hard to vet applications correctly, meaning excellent prospective team members fall through the net.
Even if someone with the relevant skills and experience applies, they might not gel with your company's culture. An unsuitable employee can upset an organisation's balance. That's why a diligent, careful approach to recruitment is needed.
If you don't have the time or expertise to find suitable candidates, getting outside support might make the recruitment process more efficient.
YOU DON’T HAVE TIME TO FOCUS ON YOUR EXPERTISE
If you’re focusing too much on employee management, it’s likely that you don’t have enough time to focus on your area of expertise.
While we all have a number of different competencies, our value is usually best spent on one key area.
What's yours? Are you devoting enough time to the aspects of your role that deliver the most value? If not, then it might be time to free up your schedule by outsourcing some responsibilities.
How could outsourcing HR, payroll, recruitment and the selection process help your organisation?
Not every organisation needs external employee management support. They have the time, resources and expertise to take care of employee matters in-house.
For those that don't, running a business efficiently can be a challenge. Full circle business support can help organisations to function smoothly while ensuring employees receive due care and attention.
In short, full circle support helps you with every aspect of employee management.
Everything from HR services to recruitment and payroll is sorted on your behalf, meaning you never have to question whether you're doing right by your employees.
If your organisation needs extra support, an external employee management company like Oberon Solutions can help.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)
WHAT IS MEANT BY RECRUITMENT PROCESS OUTSOURCING?
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is when an organisation hires a third party to work on either certain aspects of the recruitment process or the full recruitment process from building an ideal candidate for the job to providing that candidate in the end.
As highly skilled recruiters, Oberon Solutions finds the right people for the right jobs.
Finding candidates that fit the bill takes a lot of time, whilst incentivising them to join the company requires a strong understanding of the competitive landscape.

- Writing attractive job descriptions

- Creating attractive employment packages
- Interviewing prospective recruits
Outsourcing HR
WHY IS HR IMPORTANT?
HR is one of the main ways of growing, stabilising, and reworking the culture of a company. HR supports employees and managers so everyone can achieve their full potential at work.
WHAT IS HR OUTSOURCING?
HR outsourcing involves a contract from an organisation and a third-party provider in which the administration of key HR functions are overseen by the external provider.
CLOUD HR SOFTWARE
Oberon is partnered with Breathe. Breathe is a cloud HR software platform that allows for constant mobile access to every section of HR within one simple platform.
BENEFITS OF OUTSOURCING HR AND WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE SERVICE
The Human Resources department is the bridge between employees and employers. Vital legal and logistical matters are all handled by HR.
External HR support can take many forms. In addition to standard procedures like employee onboarding, maintaining employee records and fielding contract questions, more complex cases can often arise. When that happens, it's good to know that you have a proactive team on your side whose specialist insight you can rely upon.
Outsourcing HR means you'll receive support with
- Employee onboarding
- Contract management
- Complaints and dispute resolution
- Redundancy guidance
- Answering employee questions
- Processing holiday and sick pay
Outsourcing Payroll Service
WHAT IS OUTSOURCING PAYROLL?
Payroll outsourcing uses a third party to handle the management of functions involved in paying employees.
SHOULD I OUTSOURCE PAYROLL?
Do you have a handle on the latest pension legislation? Are you confident that your team is being paid correctly each month? Are you aware of new IR35 contractor regulations? Are you up to date with employee tax requirements?
If not, you’re not alone. Payroll can get complicated, particularly for those organisations with several employee salaries to process. It can be a minefield for HR and finance teams alike.
As payroll specialists, Oberon Solutions can help you navigate this vital process with ease.
Outsourcing payroll means you'll receive support with
- Processing monthly salaries
- Tax codes
